Villanueva said, “It’s one of my worst nightmares as sheriff. We all embrace our kids in the morning and send them off to school … but you never know what someone is plotting.”
Brooklyn Moreno, a student at the school, told ABC7 she was waiting for the first bell to ring when she heard the first gunshot.
She said, “I was in shock, I didn’t even process it yet. I just started running because everyone else was.” adding, “There were girls falling in front of me, I was trying to help them up. … I didn’t want to get hurt either.”
In one interview, Alexa Funk, 15, described the mess after hearing 3 gunshots.
“There were kids running everywhere,” she said. “People were falling to the floor.” adding, “she ran into the school office and hid in a printing room with other students.”
UPDATE: One of the victims injured in the shooting has passed away, according to @HenryMayoHosp.
